ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit
the room size for efficient and satisfactory
operation.
• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side
of your home, A window that faces north is best
because it is shaded most of the day.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or
furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or
other buildings.
• Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace
damper so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed
during the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your
home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or
awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work
load.
• Operate heat producing appliances such as
ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers during
the coolest part of the day.
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock.
Do not under any
circumstances cut,
remove, or bypass
the grounding prong
from this plug.

air into the area you want. Windows used for
installation must be strong enough to support the

special attention to the proper position of the unit
will lessen the chance that service will be needed.
